Hi,

it seems that there are some really unnecessary game files installed by default. Most annoying are *.exe @ Linux. And I also discovered some misconfigurations.


Unnecessary files - Call of Duty @ Linux

callofduty/main/

demos/
pam/
config_mp.cfg - created dynamically
console_mp.log - created dynamically
hunkusage.dat - created dynamically (IMHO)
localized_english_pak0.pk3 - needed for single player only
localized_english_pak1.pk3 - needed for single player only
pbsv.cfg - real PB config located @ %server:port%/pb/pbsv.cfg
portXXXXX.cfg - why don't you move it into %server:port%/main/


Other issues

You set fs_homepath which is great because you can restrict users to %server:port% directory and they are still able to add new pk3 files etc. But should also specify fs_basepath (just to be sure).

+map_rotate is used to start a map on server startup. It might be better to use +map *map_name*, because IMHO +map_rotate requires to have map_rotation specified otherwise the server doesn't start. So what if you don't want to rotate maps automatically?

I also don't know if you really store PunkBuster screenshots in callofduty/pbscreens (haven't tested yet). It is better to put pbss into %server:port%/pb/pbss/ directory.


main/port%server:port%.cfg

sets .Location "Australia" - why do we specify the location in domain configuration?


%server:port%/pb/pbsv.cfg

Put CVARs check into %server:port%/pb/pbsvuser.cfg by default


%server:port%/main/config_mp.cfg

WTF??? I really don't know purpouse of this file. And commands like 'bind TAB "+scores"'?

The previous post is mine.

Thanks for that, we will check it out.

As for the Australia location bit - I fixed this to be %domain:location%.

These configs (and installs) have been around for *years* and were originally just for us (running things in Australia). So you may find a few of these oddities like that too

[Vecchio]

Thank you for your response. I'll give you report on Call of Duty 2 as soon as the installation is finished

I am really amazed, your support is great!

[Vecchio]

Please replace callofduty/main/z_svr_pamv108.pk3 with this (unzip first):

[Andrew]

I've cleared out most of those items from the install.

Wont touch the pam stuff though, that is kind of sensitive for us in regards to how we run our servers with PAM on them.

[Vecchio]

I understand, but the most used PAM mode in Europe is cb_custom. So at least add these rules into your package.

[Vecchio]

When I change configuration of pammode propertie, it creates a duplicate entry (there are two PAM Mode fields in configuration form then). Fix it, please.

[Andrew]

Can you elaborate? I dont seem to be able to reproduce it.

[Vecchio]

[Andrew]

Click Edit beside the property.

[Vecchio]

It seems to me that you aren't talking about the same as me.

When I change configuration of pammode propertie, it creates a duplicate entry (there are two PAM Mode fields in configuration form then).

It happens here: admin/EditGameProperty.aspx?id=1662&action=newglobal


I don't want to edit current options, I just want to add new.


1) Add Item
2) Add
3) Save

[Andrew]

Try clicking Revert beside the property, and make sure theres only the one instance of that variable left with just Edit beside it.

Then click edit, modify as you wish, and hit Save - does it work now?

[Vecchio]

It doesn't work, always the same.

[Andrew]

What is your domain's name?

Also, can you setup your properties so they are 'broken' as above.

This will help me identify the problem.
